Week 1 prediction:

Metal Gear Solid 4
Japan: 200,000 to 300,000
North America: 500,000 to 750,000
Others: 500,000 to 750,000
Total: 1.2 Million to 1.8 Million

PS3
Japan: 40,000 to 60,000
North America: 130,000 to 170,000
Others 130,000 to 170,000
Total: 300,000 to 400,000

I suspect for both Metal Gear Solid 4 and the PS3 there is a greater likelyhood that they will be below this range than above it.

I definitely think the PS3 numbers will be lower than that. With the GTA IV launch just a month ago and the overlapping fan bases in Western countries, I think PS3 hardware numbers will be quite a bit lower than what most people are predicting in this thread.

It's hard to draw two massive spikes like that in a little over a month with two games that appeal to many of the same people.
